What Causes Severe Pain In Back Of A Child?
Hello! My 12 year old daughter complains daily about her back hurting between her 2 wing bones. I think its from her backpack?! What can I do to see if it is the backpack or something more or should I take her for an x-ray, is that the only way I ll figure it out? Thanks

Hi,
Yes, it may be due to heavy backpack. It may be due bad neck posture.Or it may be some other issue. You should get your child examined by general physician and get X-ray thoracic spine, cervical spine done. Till tests, you can give any over the counter painkiller.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
